I own a red 2009 Scion xD with a 5-speed manual and a rear spoiler. It has about 98k miles and still gets 32 MPG around town (down from 34 MPG). I like its steering best. Feels like a four wheeled motorcycle. The front seats are not comfortable without adding aftermarket back support. The ride is jittery. The car is noisy (drones) when taken on highway. I bought it new for $12,751 OTD using cash for clunkers. I tried not to feel guilty about the taxpayer funded program. I will likely drive it until I die.
